This study from the Strategic Research and Analysis Division in the Department of Transport examines changes in shares in sustainable transport modes between 2016 and 2022 using Census data published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), focusing on Dublin City and suburbs (Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal, and South Dublin). Dublin and its surrounding areas were chosen as the area of focus for the study as it has the largest population in the State and because of the significant public transport services and prevalence of active travel infrastructure in the county. 

This study aims to identify the areas in Dublin which have seen significant changes in sustainable transport modes such as walking, cycling and public transport. The results of this study will help inform the areas which need more changes for a shift to more sustainable mode to achieve targets in CAP 23.
